The Maccabee 
Declaration of Americanism 

{zAdopted Chicago, July, igig) 



w 



lE ARE Americans and Maccabees, one and inseparable. 
We stand united in the morn on this new day which signalizes 

: the reconstruction of the world and the enthronement of the 

il ji ideals of "the brother of our humanity" and we are ready to meet 

the challenge of the hour as men and fraters. 

While nations are in a maelstrom of unrest, while emperors and potentates 
are being thrust aside, and while governmental policies of centuries no longer 
obtain, there is evidence of the acceptance of the message of "peace on earth, 
good will toward men" as the chart of individual and national conduct, 
foretelling the brotherhood of nations, and the time when 

''''Man to man the world o\'r 
Shall brothers be for «' that.'^ 

We here vow our love for America as the freeman's hope and home. We 
believe in the American ideal of citizenship equality and the mutual interests 
of capital and labor. We hail the promised day when employer and em- 
ployed shall meet and work together on a common basis of true fraternity. 

We stand for an undivided Americanism speaking for our fraternal 
hosts in the United States and Canada, and are unalterably opposed to a 
hyphenated citizenship. 

We register our belief in liberty, law and order under governmental 
authority, as opposed to autocracy and might and likewise to Bolshevism 
with the mob. W'e cast aside the red flag as un-American. 

We challenge for membership in our Association any person unwilling to 
subscribe to the doctrine "America first, America only," and we pledge our 
last full measure of devotion to the two governments under which our 
Association is established and our membership protected, the flags of the 
Red, the White, the Blue.

THE WORLD WAR 




I'lN June 28, 1914, a bullet, smaller than a sew- 
ing thimble, pierced the vitals of the Prince 

jl Imperial of Austria -Hungary and brought 
J| down upon the earth a deluge of death, suf- 
fering and destruction such as mankind had never 
before experienced. History simply calls it "The 
World War," but in these three solemn words is 
summed up the whole range of human tragedy from 
the innocent victim in the cradle to the proud nation 
that over night faded into memory. 

WHO CAUSED THE WAR? 

Perhaps time will one day definitely and irrefut- 
ably place the blame for the war. This much we 
now know; the train of war-like events that started 
with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, 
heir to the dual throne of Austria-Hungary, at Sera- 
jevo, June 28th, 1914, had its inception in Vienna 
and was fostered by Berlin. 

A formal inquiry into the assassination was made, 
but of this the world heard but little. And then on 
that ill-omened day, July 23, 1914, Austria-Hungary 
served its ultimatum on Serbia, demanding the latter 
submit to humiliating terms — terms utterly uncalled 
for in the eyes of all nations l)ut those few which were 
predetermined to accept the slightest pretense to 
involve all Europe in war. 

Austria had no satisfactory proof that Serbia as a 
nation was involved in the murder of Ferdinand. 
Serbia, and many other nations as well, knew this 
and sensed the real intent of the ultimatum was — 
war. Europe was aghast at the potential evil in the 
situation. Statesmen of the chief powers of the west 
tried in vain to temper Austria's belligerency. 

Serbia sent her answer to the dual monarch on July 
2.5th, protesting her innocence in the alleged con- 
spiracy. But the little nation, counseled by the 
Triple Entente and Russia, agreed to Austria's terms. 
Serbia's tone was conciliatory and she promised to 
submit all issues in\olved to the Hague. 

Austria, to her undying shame and regret, ignored 
this reasonable, even humble, offer, and on July 28th 
formally declared war on Serbia. 

Russia had begged the Austrians to postpone action 
for a few days at least, but Vienna was truculent, and 
on July 27th the Russians formally pledged their aid to 
their Slavic Allv. Thus the controversv became chiefly 



one between Russia and Austria. Steps were taken 
by SayonofT, Foreign Minister of Russia, to avert the 
impending strife. Perhaps Sayonoff knew too well 
that Russia was not prepared to fight, and especially 
without the aid of France, who as yet was neutral, 
but to the great and unfortunate nation of the Czars 
belongs indisputably the credit for attempting to 
prevent war when war was cra\ed by militaristic 
Germany through her Allies. 

Elven in the face of this situation, France, nomin- 
ally Russia's Ally, and England joined in an endea\-or 
to establish mediation. It seemed for a time, until 
July 31st, that their efforts would succeed. But 
Austria had already progressed in her preparation 
for the invasion of Serbia, and Russia was not far 
behind her in mobilization. 

Up to this time the power to fight or to maintain 
peace lay between Austria and Russia. It seems 
entirely safe to state that the Austrians, alone, would 
have responded to the importunities of the Russians 
for peace. But Germany stood in the way, for every 
normal mind knows the German government coun- 
seled, and probably directed, every move of the 
Austrians toward a European war. 

While Germany has divulged much war correspon- 
dence she has never given to the world the communi- 
cations between her Foreign Office and Vienna during 
this critical period. Suffice to say, Austria was Ger- 
many's stepping stone to the Balkans and Constan- 
tinople, for vast ambitions in the east which Teutonic 
minds had dreamed for many, many years. 

E\cn Rohrbach, the well informed German writer, 
has gone on record as saying that Germany promised, 
after the murder at Serajevo, to stand by Austria 
"for life and death." 

Germany denied any knowledge of the Austrian 
ultimatum prior to its service on Serbia, but on the 
same day it was dispatched, the German Chancellor 
informed the principal German Ambassadors that 
Berlin approved the attitude of Austria and that 
unless "the dispute be localized," general war was 
likely. 

The decisive influence of Berlin over the entire 
issue was immediately cognizant to the Russians who 
on July 2()th asked Germany to exert its power in an 
effiirt to calm the obstinate and belligerent position 
which Austria had assumed. England at the same 




The 326th Infantry in review at Camp Gordon 



time attempted to induce Germany to sway Austria 
peacewards. But it is certain that the Kaiser and 
his court did not try to influence the Austrians to 
mediate with Serbia. 

Of all the nations concerned, Germany was by far 
the most adequately prepared for war. For decades 
the militant spirit had been fostered, even worshipped, 
in the German Empire. Germany knew all the moves 
of the intrigue and what they meant, yet when a 
word of conciliation might have prevented the cata- 
clysm, she was silent. Germany let the controversy 
between Austria and Russia drift to the reefs of war. 
Germany knew 
France would side 
with Russia, but 
hoped England 
would remain neu- 
tral. .^_, 

Throughout this 
stage of the con- 
troversy, England 
believed the whole 
matter could be 
settled amicably 
by arbitration, and 
on July 24th put 
forth the proposi- 
tion that England, 
Germany, France 
and Italy decide as 
a body what should 
be done by Russia 
and Austria. France 

and Italy accepted; Germany declined. Even Rus- 
sia stated her willingness to accept the British plan 
and went so far as to offer a formula of her own to 
solve the portentous problem. 

Again, England urged the great powers to confer 
and Emperor William exchanged telegrams with the 
Czar — all to no avail. Austria, secretly confident 
of Germany's support, plunged on toward Serbia — 
and ultimate destruction. 

Both England and France wanted peace. They 
were friendly to Russia but honestly hoped Austria 
would concede some points and avoid a general war. 
The French were the more involved of the two on 
account of France's alliance with Russia. The Eng- 
lish strangely held aloof from promising aid to her old 
ally, the French; probably held back by a sincere, 
if selfish desire to keep the British Empire out of an 
European embroglio — the first for Britain since the 
battle of Waterloo. Up to the 31st of July, the British 
were still withholding positive promises to the French. 

All of these important and fruitless moves and 
counter-moves filled the ten pregnant days from July 
23rd to August 1. The powers were playing a careful 
game of chess for gigantic stakes. Each nation 
protested its good intentions for peace. But the 
greedy eyes of the militarists were fixed on the Suez 
Canal, the East, Africa, and other prize pawns in the 




One of Uncle Sam's big steps in the war liml'^ 



international contest, and in their hearts the states- 
men knew the inevitable time had come when the 
racial hatreds brewing from Napoleon's time were 
ready to boil over. Germany was the keystone of the 
situation and she meant to light the fuse regardless 
of her superficial displays to bring about peace. 

On July 30th Emperor William telegraphed the 
Czar, protesting strongly against the Russian mo- 
bilization, which St. Petersburg claimed was directed 
solely against Austria. The Russian war office made 
its orders general. On July 31st Germany again 
demanded a disavowal within 12 hours. The Rus- 
sian answer was an 
order for the mobil- 
ization of the entire 
army. Once more 
Germany notified 
Russia that unless 
a satisfactory of?er 
was immediately 
made, war would 
be declared, and at 
7:10 p. m., August 
1st, 1914, the World 
War began. 

THE VORTEX 

Followed nation 
upon nation into 
the World War 
arena. Germany 
//"' Mioiiiii- declared war on 

France, August 3rd. 
England took sides with France on August 1st with 
an assurance that the British fleet would engage any 
German fleet in e\ent of an attack on French coasts on 
shipping. On August 3rd Germany demanded free 
passage for her troops through Belgium. The Belgians 
promptly refused, and on August 4th the Germans 
crossed the border, to be met and fiercely fought by 
the small but valiant army of King Albert. This 
wanton in\'asion precipitated England actively in the 
conflict, and the long hand of war began to be felt in 
Canada, Australia and all parts of the British Empire. 
Little Montenegro immediately came to the defense 
of her Slavic sisters, Serbia and Russia. 

THE FIRST SHOTS 

Despite the trend of events, it was not until 
August 16th that the Germans and Russians engaged 
in heavy fighting. In the meantime Austria had 
commenced shelling Belgrade, the Serbian capital, on 
July 29th. 

In the west the Germans in their first flush ot 
victory quickly pushed on through Belgium and almost 
reached Paris in one of the greatest campaigns of the 
war. The grey hordes were hindered by the brave 
Belgians and stopped by England's "contemptible 
little army" of 120,000 Territorials and the French 
troops that were rushed to the north. 



Then came the first battle of the Marne and three 
days of desperate fighting, September 8th to lllh, 
when the Germans received their first serious setback 
and retreated to their fine of prepared defense, which 
they were fated to hold for over two years. It was the 
first defeat for a German army in the open field since 
the days when Bonaparte dictated peace terms in Berlin. 

On September 15th the first battle of the Aisne 
began. On October 9th Antwerp fell, and on Novem- 
ber 5th Great Britain declared war on Turkey. 

Then on Christmas Eve, 1914, came the first air 
raid on England, which stirred to thedepths, the hatred 
of the people of the Triple Entente — France, Russia, 
and England, and aroused the indignation of the 
entire neutral world. 

THE U-BOAT BLOCIvADE 

Nineteen hundred fifteen was ushered in by the 
establishment of the U-boat blockade of England on 
February 18th. A week later the Allied fleet attacked 
the Dardanelles. 

The war had already brought forth many surprises 
in fighting machinery. Guns of a size and range never 
before known quickly smashed fortresses supposed 
impregnable; aircraft began to dot the skies above the 
battle fields; the submarine had opened up a new 
field of destruction; giant Zeppelins promised much 
to Germany's war ambitions. 

The first gas attack came with the Second Battle of 
Ypres, April 22nd. Allied soldiers fell by thousands 
before the dread fumes. The Canadian soldiers 
suffered heavily in this attack. Even the Germans 
were as yet so inexpert with their new weapon that 
many of them were gassed. Had they then realized 
the power of gas and known how to correctly employ 
it, the history of the conflict might ha\'e been quite 
difTerently written. 

THE LUSITANIA 

America, nominally neutral, nevertheless was 
horrified at the atrocities perpetrated by the Germans 
upon innocent civilians. American sympathy as a whole 
was with the Triple Entente. Then came the wanton 
sinking of the Lusitania by a German submarine on 
May 7th, 1915. The echo was heard in Belleau Woods 
later on when the dough -boys rolled up the crack 
German regiments, yelling as they plunged on, the 
avenging battle cry, "Lusitania! Lusitania!" 

Among the other important events of the year w^ere 
the declaration of war by Italy on Austria May 23rd, 
and the fall of Warsaw on August 4th. 



VERDUN 

February 1st, 1916, saw the beginning (jf the 
famous siege of Verdun, one of the brightest — 
and bloodiest — episodes in the history of the war. 

On August 27th Rumania entered the war. On 
November 13th the British won a victory on the Ancre. 
On December 20th President Wilson sent his first 
peace note. 

ENTRY OF THE UNITED STATES 

Germany's mistakes were legion. On February 
1st, 1917, Berlin notified the world that the U-Boat 
war henceforward would be unrestricted. Two days 
later the United States broke with Germany, and to 
most Americans actual warfare between the two 
countries seemed only a question of weeks. Notes 
passed to and fro over the cables for a few weeks, 
but the Germans were too steeped in the blood lust; 
the memory of the Lusitania was too poignant, and 
on April 6th, 1917, the United States formally declared 
war on Germany. The war lords of Berlin sneered 
and scoffed, but a few weeks later, on Ma)- 18th, the 
Selective Draft Law was passed and America pre- 
pared to gird herself for battle. 

Russia, meanwhile, had begun to crumble. The 
Czar abdicated on March 15th, 1917, and after a few 
months of revolution and counter-revolution, Lenine 
and Trotzsky established the Bolshevik regime by 
their coupe d'etat of November 7th. The Russian 
bear, wounded, exhausted, hors de combat, was lost 
to the Allied cause. 

THE LAST YEAR 

Early in January, 1918, President Wilson announced 
his historic "Fourteen Points" which subsequently 
figured largely in the negotiations between the various 
nations involved in the war. But the most encourag- 
ing event of the period from the view point of the 
Allies, was the appointment, on March 28, of General 
Foch as Generalissimo, just one week after the Ger- 
mans began their spring offensive. Foch typified the 
new spirit of solidarity that had, of desperate ex- 
pediency, developed among the various armies of the 
Allies. The terrific German assaults in March, May and 
June met solid resistance from a united front. 

Allied morale was greatly strengthened by the 
leadership of Foch and the steady influx of American 
soldiers. By July 2, 1918, more than 1,000,000 "dough- 
boys" were in France, eager to take their places at 
the front. In fact, Americans in detached units had

m-^^'-cmM-- 



already distinguished themselves in sc\xTal engage- 
ments at various sections of the battle line. 

Providence now seemed to aid the Allies. On June 
ir)lh the great Austrian offensive against Italy was 
launched. The world waited in suspense as the 
terrific struggle took place. Italy held her ground, 
and better. Then the heavens opened and a deluge 
of rain swelled the Piave, destroying the liridge of 
the Austrians — trapping them like rats. Six days 
later, on June 23rd, the Austrians were in full retreat, 
broken, demoralized, utterly vanciuishcd in the 
greatest of the many military defeats that ha\'e been 
the signal lot of the dual monarchy. 

THE BEGINNING OF THE END 

July found the Allied countries watching the war 
clouds which foretold of the coming supreme offensive 
of the German armies. No one knew what the out- 
come would be, and when the blow fell on the 15th, 
extreme anxiety was felt everywhere, except in those 
quarters near the front where the hollowness of the 
German military structure was doubtless plainly 
apparent. The battle raged with unprecedented fury 
for three days and then Foch struck a terrible blow at 
the enemy. The counter attack was a signal for a 
general onslaught by the British, French and Ameri- 
cans against the Germans. In cjuick succession the 
French and Americans swept on at the Marne and 
Aisne; Soissons was recovered; the British delivered a 
smashing attack at Amiens; Bapaume, Noyon and 
Peronne were regained. By Septeml)er 1st the 
German line at Drocourt-Queant had been breached, 
and on the 27th the Hindenburg line was l)roken. 

Bulgaria surrendered on September 29th, and the 
next day Damascus fell. October 1st St. Quentin 
was regained; the 4th, Cambrai. On the 13th the 
French recovered Laon. By October 25th, the 
British were in Irkutsk and Homs; Ostend, Lille and 
Douia were regained; the Belgian coast was clear 
of the Hun and Ludendorff had resigned. 

Turkey, crestfallen and battered, was granted an 
armistice on October 30th. Austria surrendered on 
November 3rd, and on the next day the Versailles 
armistice agreement was drawn up. 

Americans reached Sedan November (ith. On the 
9th the Kaiser abdicated and Berlin was in the throes 



of a revolution. The Kaiser's flight to Holland took 
place on November 10th, the same day the British 
were at Mons. 

Novemlier 1 1th, 10 IS, the Armistice was signed and 
civilization remo\'ed from jeopardy. 

THE PEACE OF VERSAILLES 

Five years to a day after the assassination at 
Serajevo, the Treaty, formally ending the World War 
between Germany and the Allies, was signed in the 
Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, France,onJune28th, 1919. 

The terms were terrible but just and necessary. 
True, Germany had to give up rich portions of her 
empire, submit to plebiscites in others, and agree to 
pay huge indemnities. But that which she lost, in 
large part, was never truly German in origin nor 
German in heart, and the penalty imposed met with 
almost universal approval. 

And so with Austria. The representatives of the 
wretched monarchy signed the Treaty in the same 
mirrored room on September 10, 1919. Never before 
in all the unglorious history of the Hapsburgs 
was Austria forced to submit to such abject humili- 
ation as that pressed upon her at Versailles. 

Bulgaria and Turkey eventually underwent a sim- 
ilar operation at the hands of the Allied Commission- 
ers. Disintegrated into a number of small individual 
states, Hungary lost her identity as a nation. 

AND NOW 

Today the World nominally is at Peace. The 
greatest war growing out of the World War has ended 
with the signatures of Poland and Russia on a treaty 
of peace which humiliates neither nation, enables the 
former to mend her economic and social affairs, and 
signifies that Bolshevism is on the wane. 

Although the United States technically is at war 
with Germany, actual peace conditions between the 
two countries probably will soon become a reality. 
The quadrennial election is over with its usual 
turbulence; record breaking crops have been attained; 
production is on the increase; prices are becoming 
more stabilized. The morale of the nation is gradually 
recuperating from the stress of war and post-war 
conditions and the country looks forward confidently, 
hopefully and cheerfully to the era that lies ahead. 



CANADA'S PART IN THE WAR 



TH IS is the war story of the gallant sons of Canada, 
telling with extreme briefness their record of 
glory as related in the formal report of the Department 
of Public Information of Ottawa. 

Save only that it lacks the beautiful tales of personal 
\alor, of shining deeds of sacrifice performed in the 
muck and hell of the worst war of the ages, this, then, 
is the story of Canada. 

HOW THE WAR FOUND CANADA 

In the early months of 1914 Canada had virtualK' 
no army. There did exist a standing iorce of 3,000 
men, used chiefly to garrison icirtresses, and also to 
train militiamen. 
The militia was a 
lightly trained, de- 
fensive force whose 
number in 1913 was 
about 60,000. 

BUILDING 
SWIFTLY 

In the late sum- 
mer and early 
autumn of 1914, the 
First Canadian Divi- 
sion of 33,000 men 
was raised, trained 
and sent across the 
Atlantic, leaving 
Gaspe Bay October 
3, and after a three 
months interval of 
final drilling in Eng- 
land, they landed in France, at Ste. Nazaire, Feb- 
ruary 11, 191.5. 

The heels of the soldiers of the First Division had 
hardly ceased drumming the soil of Canada when the 
Second Division was formed and landed in France 
September 14. 

Just before Christmas of 1915 the Third Division 
was authorized and had disembarked in France early 
in 1916. In the middle of August, 1916, the Fourth 
Division joined the Canadian Corps. The Canadian 
Cavalry Brigade appeared in France in 191.5. 

Upon the completion of the Canadian Army Corps 
the Dominion policy was to keep up only a few 
divisions, but always to maintain these at full strength 
in order that the troops might have the encouragement 
of full ranks. In all more than 418,000 members of the 
Canadian Expeditionary forces crossed the Atlantic 
for service overseas. 

WHAT CANADA DID 

Following these divisions down the long, red road 
we find that the First Division distinguished itself in 
the second Battle of Ypres, April 22, and again at 
Festubert and Givenchy in May and June. In 1916 




J. J?*-!*. 



Burial of a Canadion nurse, killed in a hospital by a German boinb 



the Canadians, now three divisions strong, were 
locked in death grips with the enemy at St. Eloi in 
April, and at Sanctuary Wood and Hooge in June. 
Through September, October and November the four 
divisions fought in the Battle of the Somme, with 
particularly meritorious conduct at Courcelette, 
Mouquct Farm, and the Kenora, Regina and Desire 
Trenches. 

Bui it was at Vimy Ridge in 1917 that the star of 
Canada's bra\ery shone with surpassing glory. Cana- 
dian troops bore the burden of this offensive and of 
Alleux and Fresnoy, and also fought with singular 
success in the advance of Lens and the taking of Hill 

70 in August. And 
■i /i;.ii', '^ - :J^ n^ then came Pas- 

schendaele, in Octo- 
ber and November. 
With the brave men 
of Canada falling at 
e\ery step in the 
face of bitter firing, 
the advance went 
on. Every Canadian 
objective was taken. 
In 1918 the Can- 
ad i a n Cavalry, 
Motor Machine 
Guns, and Railway 
Troops actively 
resisted the German 
advance in March. 
The Battle of Amiens 
found the Canadian 
Corps in the centre 
of the British Front. It was here that the Canadians 
pushed ahead 14,000 yards the first day, the deepest 
advance made in one day during the entire war. In the 
Battle of Arras the Canadians aided materially in 
the breaking of the Drocourt-Queant line, a part 
of the Hindenburg system. Canadian losses were 
severe in these two engagements, but the number 
of prisoners taken exceeded the losses. 

Heavy losses again marked the next major action of 
Canadians, the Battle of Cambrai. Large captures 
of men and material signalized the taking of Cambrai. 
In the last bloody stages of the battle Denain was 
taken by the Canadians on October 20, Valenciennes 
on November 2 and Mons at 4 a. m. on November 11, 
seven hours before the signing of the armistice. 

Canadians took 45,000 prisoners in the course of the 
war, 850 artillery guns and 4,200 machine guns, and 
retook 130 towns and villages, liberating 310,000 
French and Belgian civilians. Canadian units also 
served in Palestine, Macedonia and Russia. 

CANADIAN CAVALRY 
The C. A. C. and the Canadian Cavalry fought 
separately. The cavalry distinguished themselves in 



March, 1917, by the capture of six villages in two days 
and in December gave valuable help in the attack on 
Villers-Guislains. In the German offensive of March 
and April, 1918, the cavalry performed meritorious 
work suffering severe losses at Bois Moreuil, Rifie 
Wood and elsewhere. The Brigade fought as part of 
the Canadian Corps in the second Battle of Amiens 
and captured the town of Le Cateau in the great 
advance that helped end the fighting. 

Operating behind the combat units were thousands 
of Canadians whose devotion to the cause were the 
means of keeping the combat units in splendid morale. 

Among these were the Canadian Railway Troops, 
immediately behind the lines, the Forestry Troops, 
Army Medical Corps, Garrison Duty men. Royal Air 
Force, Royal Naval Air Service and Royal Flying 
Corps, in addition to those thousands of patriots 
whose duty held them at home at their callings, or 
whose age deprived them of the honor of serving His 
Majesty, The King. Canada served, with every fiber 
I if her broad-flung strength, and ser\etl well. 

CANADA'S MOBILIZED STRENGTH 

The total nimiber of men enlisted in Canada from 
the beginning of the war to No\eml)er 15, 1918, was 
595,441. The details are:—

THE UNITED STATES IN THE WAR 



' I "*HE Kaiser struck his first blow at the neutrality 
-*- of the Ihiited States early in February, 1915, when 
he arbitrarily advised the world as to where he would 
permit the ships of his enemies and of neutrals to pass 
without attacks from German U-boats. A few days 
later President Wilson, in his first note, entered a 
strong protest, warning Germany she would be held 
to strict account were one American life taken or one 
American ship attacked. 

The spirited discussion which followed was sharply 
punctuated by the sinking of the Lusitania on May 
7th. More notes followed, the Kaiser adroitly evading 
culpable answers. Finally, on January 31, 1917, the 
last shreds of the mask fell away and Germany was 
revealed in all her perfidy when the Kaiser declared 
that all ships attempting to approach the coasts of 
England and Ireland would be sunk without warning. 
Forty-eight hours after the proclamation of unrestrict- 
ed U-boat warfare, the United States broke with 
Germany, and on April 6, 1917, war between the two 
countries was formally declared. 

Immediately the spirit of war dominated the United 
States and all else was subordinated in a herculean 
effort to achieve honorably and effectively the United 
States full participation in the struggle. The Draft was 
cjuickly put into effect and soon the long line of olive 
drab began to flow across the Atlantic, ever swelling, 
never stopping until the foe was utterly vanquished. 

It was in June, 1917, that General Pershing arrived 
in France with the first contingent of the United 



States Expeditionary Forces. And who can appraise 
the inspiration the war-worn French received, when, 
standing over the tomb of the F'renchman who helped 
the United States to freedom in 1776, General Pershing 
uttered that prophecy and pledge, "Lafayette, we 
are here!" 

Following hurried greetings, the LTnited States forces 
began at once to prepare for the grim warfare ahead. 
A few months of intensive training and general 
organization ensued and then winter set in, bringing 
a respite for the battle weary and an opportunity to 
whip into shape the newcomers from America. 

CANTIGNY 

Spring 1918 opened in France with the First 
Division occupying a sector in the vicinity of Bretenil, 
northwest of Montididicr. 

And then on the morning of May 2Sth the First 
Division went into action, capturing Cantigny and all 
other objectives. The engagement relative to the 
front was of minor importance but it re\ealed the 
American soldiers as real fighters, capable of taking 
their place among the proved warriors of the Allies. 

CHATEAU-THIERRY 

Meanwhile the Germans, with Paris their objective, 
turned their furious offensive upon the Aisne and' the 
Third Division was rushed with all speed to the 
Marne. Its machine gun battalion, pushing on ahead 
to meet this rail, successfully held the bridgehead 



10 



opposite Chateau-Thierry. The French order of the 
day, referring to this action, reads: 

"The courage of the Americans was beyond all 
praise. The Colonials themselves, though accustomed 
to acts of heroism, were struck by the wonderful morale 
in the face of fire and the extraordinary cool headed- 
ness of their Allies. The episode of Chateau-Thierry 
will remain as one of the brilliant pages of the war." 

BOURESCHES, BELLEAU WOOD, VAUX 

The Second Division, which had been in reser\-e 
near Montididier, was sent at the same time by every 
available means of transport to help in the effort at 
holding back the enemy, who with increasing forces 
was bearing down upon Paris. 

On June 6, against the best German guard divisions, 
the Marines led a charge which, by midnight, had 
ended in the capture of the village and railroad station 
of Bouresches. 

The next objective was Belleau Wood, a point of 
\-ital importance. In this attack the conduct of the 
4th Brigade of the 2nd Division was so brilliant, in 
combat with a numerous and ferocious enemy, that 
after the capute of Belleau Wood the General com- 
manding the 6th French Army decided it should 
henceforth be called "Marine Brigade Wood." The 
3rd Brigade of Marines was cited by the P'rench 6th 
Army as having given a "superb example of dash, 
abnegation and sacrifice," and as having taken an 
important part in the victorious attack which led to 
the evacuation of French territory and which forced 
the enemy to solicit an armistice. 

Though the 2nd Division had been fighting steadily 
for over two weeks, it was still able, before being 
relieved, to seize the village of Vaux. 

THE SECOND BATTLE OF THE MARNE 

On July 15, after a pause for reorganization, the 
enemy launched a formidable onslaught from Chateau- 
Thierry to the Argonne. It was to be the last. With- 
in forty-eight hours the Allies had broken this offen- 
sive. The six American divisions thrown along the 
Marne did their large share in checking the German 
advance. 



On Jul>- IS, in the thrust toward Soissons, the place 
of honor was given to the 1st and 2nd American 
Divisions, in company with French troops chosen for 
their prestige on the battlefield. By the first days of 
August, the Marne salient, into which the enemy had 
imprudently driven hundreds of thousands of his 
best troops, had been completely wiped out. 

GENERAL PERSHING IN COMMAND 

On August 10, the First Army was organized under 
the personal command of General Pershing. 

In view of the important part the Americans were 
now to play it was necessary for them to take over a 
permanent portion of the line which extended from 
east of the Moselle River to a point near Verdun. 
The operations in this sector resulted in signal success; 
On September 12, the First Army wiped out the 
Saint-Mihiel salient, it released the inhabitants of 
many villages, took 16,000 prisoners, 443 guns, a 
great quantity of material, and it established the new 
lines in a position to threaten Metz. 

The power of the American Army had asserted 
itself. The gratitude of the French to the Com- 
mander-in-Chief was threefold; for this foresight in 
planning from the first for an army of millions, for 
his judgment in realizing that his soldiers must 
exercise themselves not in trenches, but in a war of 
movement, and for his character, so essentially 
American, which in the most critical moments laid 
aside all questions of personal vanity, in a disinter- 
ested determination that the cause, for which his 
men were giving their lives, should triumph. 

THE MEUSE ARGONNE OFFENSIVE 

Twelve days later, hostilities were to be resumed on 
a much larger scale; at daybreak, on September 26, a 
barrage fire which for eleven hours illuminated the 
sky, announced that the American offensive had been 
launched, between the Argonne forest and the Meuse 
river. 

This battle — one of the most important operations 
of the war — was to continue until the enemy capitulat- 
ed. The objectives assigned to General Pershing's 
Army were of paramount importance. The Germans

realized that if they could not hold their line of com- 
munications at this point, all would be lost for them. 
They consequently withdrew division after division 
from the north, to fling them in desperation against 
the Americans. 

Out of nine divisions which took i)arl in this brilliant 
attack, sustained for 47 days, only three were in 
possession of their organic artillery or had ever taken 
part in active war and five divisions came in contact 
with their artillery for the first time on the battlefield. 
Two divisions had spent about sixty days in calm 
sectors, one had been ten, another sixteen days in the 
trenches, two had never been under fire. They were 
|^ro^'ided with only three-cjuarters the regulation 
nunfljer of horses and wagons, and the natural dilTi- 
culties which they had to face seemed insurmountable. 
Yet in spite of roads heavy w'ith mud, of deep ravines, 
thick woods and steep hills, the Americans pushed 
steadily on. Not at any time superior in numbers to 
the enemy, during this long struggle, they always 
had the upper hand. 

On October 26, at the end of the first month, the 
troops had made an average advance of 10 miles on a 
20 mile front, they had freed 45 villages from the 
Argonne to the Meuse, they had liberated 200 square 
miles of territory, and they had penetrated the four 
strongest German systems of trenches, including the 



Hindcnlnirg line. The aviators had shot down 230 
airjilanes and 20 balloons. 

The gains from Noveinber 1 to November .5 brought 
the Americans to within 5 iniles of the Metz-Sedan 
railroad, one of the two main lines connecting France 
with Germany. Hve days before the armistice was 
signed. Marshal Foch sent General Pershing the 
follow'ing message: 

"Operations since November 1, by the First Ameri- 
can Army, have already assured, thanks to the valor 
of the High Command, and to the energy and the 
bravery of the troops, results of the greatest impor- 
tance. I am happy to offer you my w-armest con- 
gratulations on the success of these operations." 

Fifteen out of the twenty-two divisions engaged had 
been twice in action during the Meuse-Argonnebattle, 
in which the Americans sustained 100,000 casualties. 

On November 11, 191S, an armistice was signed, the 
enemy capitulated: the war was won. 

These few pages cannot begin to recite all ot the 
glorious achievements of Americans in the World 
War. The feat of the Navy in transporting millions 
of American soldiers and countless tons of supplies is 
a war epoch in itself. And in hundreds of other ways 
Americans toiled and fought in many lands under all 
flags of the Allied nations, to do their very best in the 
cause of humanity.

The First — ^ Maccabee 




OSMOND KELLY INGRAM 

The fiirst man in the United States forces to lose his life 
in actual combat 



His name was Kelly Ingram; 
he was Alabama's son, 

And he whistled "Yankee Doodle," 
as he stood beside his gun; 

There was laughter in his make-up, 
there was manhood in his face. 

And he knew the best traditions 
and the courage of his race; 

Now there's not a heart among us 
but should swell with loyal pride 

When he thinks of Kelly Ingram 
and the splendid way he died. 

On the swift Destroyer Cassin 
he was merely gunner's mate, 

But up there today, I fancy, 
he is standing with the great. 



On that grim day last October 

his position on the craft 
Was that portion of the vessel 

which the sailors christen aft; 
There were deep sea bombs beside 

him to be dropped upon the Hun 
Who makes women folks 

his victims and then gloats 

o'er what he's done. 

From thelookout came a warning; 

came the cry all sailors fear, 
A torpedo was approaching, 

and the vessel's doom was near; 
Ingram saw the streak of danger, 

but he saw a little more, 
A greater menace faced them 

than that missile had in store; 



If those deep sea bombs beside him 
were not thrown beneath the wave. 

Every man aboard the Cassin 
soon would find a watery grave. 

It was death for him to linger, 

liut he figured if he ran 
And quit his post of duty 

'twould be death for every man: 
So he stood at his position, threw 

those depth bombs overboard, 
And when that torpedo 

struck them, he went forth 

to meet his Lord. 
Oh, I don't know how to say it, 

but these whole United States 
Should remember Kelly Ingram — 

he who died to save his mates.

THE MACCABEES IN THE WORLD WAR 



AT the beginning of the Great World War, The Maccabees, 
L. like all other Fraternal Beneficiary Associations and like 
Insurance Companies, was confronted with the problem of how 
they should deal with the question of insurance protection upon 
the lives of their members who might become involved in the 
struggle. The laws of nearly all such insurance Organizations 
relieved the Associations from any liability under their contracts 
with the members in case of loss of life while engaged in war. 

THE FIRST TOLLS 

It was some considerable time after the beginning of the war 
before any Maccabee lost his life in that struggle, but as the war 
progressed, Canada, one of the countries under the jurisdiction 
of The Maccabees, began reporting war losses among the members 
of our tents located in that country. There was no provision for 
the payment of these losses, under the laws of The Maccabees. 
For the purpose of considering this subject, the Supreme Com- 
mander called a Special Review of the Supreme Tent, which met 
in Detroit, Michigan, August 7, 1916. 

In his call for this Special Review, the first matter recommend- 
ed for consideration by him was that of making such change in the 
laws of the Order as would assure to Maccabees and their bene- 
ficiaries, the fullest protection of the Order while they were 
engaged in the service of their Country, by the creation of a 
patriotic fund for such purposes, thus maintaining the integrity 
of the life benefit fund of the Order and at the same time giving 
encouragement to all in the performance of their duty to their 
country, under the flag of which they and their families receive 
protection of life and property. 

In this connection the Supreme Commander, in his message to 
this Special Review, said: 

"It has ever been the boast of The Maccabees that one of its 
main objects was to create and maintain a patriotic interest on 
the part of its members, not only in affairs that pertain to their 
own locality, their own duty to Home and Loved Ones, but to 
their Country as well. 

The Order of The Maccabees is founded upon the history and 
tradition of the Ancient Maccabees, and takes for its exemplar 
one of the most patriotic characters in all the history of the world. 

The name and fame of Judas Maccabeus will ever be cherished 
because of his undying devotion to Country as well as Home and 
Friends, and it was upon this foundation that the Order of The 
Maccabees was established. 

THE PLEDGE OF HONOR 

As you are well aware, one of the questions asked an applicant 
for membership, as he appears for initiation, is whether he is 
willing to give up his life for his Country, should such a sacrifice 
be demanded, and we demand an affirmative answer to this 
question; nothing else would be accepted, so it nuist be under- 
stood that every man whose name is enrolled upon our records 
today as a member, has given his Pledge of Honor that he would 
he true to his Country, and if necessary would give up his 
life for it. 

Only twice during the history of this Organization have emer- 
gencies arisen when the protection of the Order was needed for 
the families of the men of the Order who had enlisted in theservice 
of their Country and lost their lives in following the Flag, and on 
both occasions the Order promptly and generously provided for 
the home and families of such members. 

It will be remembered in this connection that botli of these 
events — the Boer War and thp Spanish-.Anierican War — 
occurred prior to the time when our rates of contriliution were 
placed upon a scientific basis. The laws of the Association 
then, as now, exempted it from liability in such cases, but 
through the power of dispensation, approved by the Board of 
Trustees of the Association, action was taken which temporarily 
set aside the provision in the Laws relating to this subject, and 
payments were made as though there were no such prohibition. 

When our rates of contribution were adjusted in 190t to an 
adequate and scientific basis, of course only normal conditions 
were taken into calculation. In other words, the Mortality 
Table upon which these rates of contribution were based did not 
contemplate the deaths that might result from war, hence it 
would be unwise and unsafe, not at all justified by our calcula- 



tions, to impose upon the Life Benefit Fund of the Association 
any obligations growing out of our duty to the member and his 
famil\- while engaged in the service of his Countr\- during war. 

A BIG PROBLEM 

When the European War broke out, some two years ago, it was 
of such a character, and its consequences thought to be so far 
reaching, that the granting of such a dispensation was not deemed 
advisable; yet all in authority have contended that at the proper 
time all claims against the Order, arising out of that conflict, 
should be paid and would be paid. 

We have heard a great deal of war and rumours of war for two 
or more years, and while none of us wish to see further strife and 
international disturbances, we believe that the time has come 
when we should as an organization, square our conduct with our 
professions. 

We believe we should go on record in an affirmative way in this 
connection, declaring in no uncertain manner that it is not only 
the duty of the individual member to render such service, but 
that it is equally the duty of his fellow members in the Order to 
keep his insurance protection in full force while he is thus serving 
his Country. 

THE MACCABEE P.ATRIOTIC FUND 

It is, therefore, proposed that there shall be created what may 
be called a Patriotic Fund, this fund to be established by a special 
assessment upon every member regardless of age, amount of 
benefits, or time of entrance into the Order, and when so estab- 
lished, the fund shall be maintained sacredly for the purpose of 
taking care of such obligations as arise from service in the army 
or navy. 

Certainly every member of the Order who is not able or so 
situated that he cannot render this patriotic service, should be 
thrice willing to contribute to a fund which will make certain the 
ample protection of the dependents of those members who can, 
and will render it." 

This part of the Supreme Commander's report was referred to 
the Committee on new business, and this Committee, in due 
time, through its Chairman, Ed. I^. Young, made the following 
report which after full and general discussion of the matter was 
adopted: 

To the Officers and Members of the Supreme Tent: 
The Committee on New Business begs leave to make report on 
the proposed amendment to the laws of the Association as 
submitted to us: 

"First. This is a proposition to clearly set forth the policy 
of The Maccabees with reference to the enlistment of members in 
the armies of the United States or other countries of which the\- 
are citizens or in which they have declared their purpose to 
become citizens, under the law. Also for the establishment of a 
patriotic fund adequate to the generous care of such members, 
their needy families and dependents. 

We here and now declare it to be the policy and purpose of The 
Maccabees to encourage and recognize members who are lawful 
citizens of any nation in which our Association has jurisdiction, 
who shall in the spirit of true patriotism, enlist in the army or 
navy of such country in time of war. No virtue is more domi- 
nant in the tenets of Maccabeeisni than that of patriotism which 
burns out upon every page of our ritualism and distinguishes the 
life and sacrifices of Judas Maccabeus, one of the first martyrs of 
genuine chivalry, and for whom our order is named. His 
patriotism is not only the most striking example in sacred history 
of the willingness of a man to die for his country, but likewise to 
live for it. He it was, who in dividing the spoils of war, was 
first to set aside a definite portion for the generous care of the 
widows and orphans. In that spirit The Maccabees today, 
enforcing its purpose with adequate laws, guarantees in full tlie 
insurance protection of such members now and hereafter, together 
with generous care of the families and dependents of such members 
through its General Reliel department. 

To this end we recommend that a proviso be added to section 
263 of the general laws of the Association making this purpose 
effective and legal. 

We also recommend that Section -iS of the general laws be 
amended so as to give full authority to the Supreme Board of 
Trustees to levy upon the entire membership of the Association 
such special assessments as may be needed to meet any national 
emergency and all such relief demands in case of war being 
declared by any country in which our Association has jurisdiction, 
provided that such special assessments shall not exceed one 
dollar at any one time."

In pursuance of the action of the Special Review of the Supreme 
Tent in August, 1916, it was found necessary to levy two assess- 
ments of $1.00 each upon the entire membership of the Associa- 
tion, to provide the necessary funds to pay the death losses 
occurring on account of the war. 

The proceeds of these two assessments amounted to $000,491.25. 
From this fund, 478 death claims, amounting to $470,252.38 were 
paid. Every claim, for which proofs have been filed, was paid 
immediately upon the completion of the proofs, the balance 
remaining in the fund, after the payment of all obligations against 
it, was, by order of the Supreme Tent session of 1919, transferred 
to the Life Benefit Fund. 

The Supreme Commander in his report to the Supreme Tent 
Review, held in Chicago, 1919, referring to these war claims, said; 

"In the payment of these 'war claims' our Association did 
only its plain duty, and we shouUl be very proud of the manner 
in which the membership everywhere responded to the demands 
for this service. On our 'Service Flag' to-day, as it hangs in 
this hall are over four hundred 'Gold Stars,' every one of them 
representing the splendid patriotic spirit that characterized our 
membership in this great struggle. To the memory of these brave 
boys who made the 'supreme sacrifice' we pay our grateful 
tribute of love and loyalty, conscious of the fact that we were as 
true to them and theirs as they were to the flag of their country. 

At the proper time, later in the session, we will do ourselves the 
honor of holding suitable memorial services to the memory of our 
noble dead." 

Sir Knight Thomas Watson, Supreme Record Keeper, in his 
report to the Supreme Tent Review of 1919, referring to these 
war claims, said: 

"No brighter page in the history of Maccabeeism had ever been 
written than that relating to the Patriotic Fund, its creation, the 
almost unanimous response made to the call by the membership, 
and its distribution in the payment of death claims of those heroes 
who laid down their lives in behalf of their country. The patrio- 
tism and loyalty of the membership were put to the test and it 
was not found wanting. True, there were a few who thought 
that the death claims of those who were killed in war should be 
paid from the Life Benefit Fund, forgetful of the fact that the 
laws of the Association do not provide for the payment of the 
death claims of those who die as the result of war. The most of 
those were easily convinced that this could not be done." 

On the afternoon of the third day of the Supreme Review of 
1919, held in Chicago, Memorial Services were held in the large 
auditorium of the La Salle Hotel, Chicago. The room was 
crowded to its capacity. Sir Knight Judge Wm. M. Kent of 
New York, Chairman of the Memorial Committee, reported as 
follows: 

"Your Committee approaches another phase of its memorial 
service with a sense of the importance that attaches 
to any effort to give expression of gratitude and 
appreciation for the sacrifices that the young 



for the sacrifices that thi 
men of America have made in the cause of human 



liberty. Officially we communicate to our brothers upon this 
floor the information that from the ranks of the members of this 
Order, and from the more than sixteen thousand of its member- 
ship who went forth in the defense of the principles of American 
liberty, four hundred seventy-eight Maccabees were taken by the 
fate of war and removed from the land of the living. We are 
conscious of the fact that in the going out of each and every one 
some story of valor, of patient suffering, or determined effort to 
serve could be unfolded. The hearts of all of us here assembled 
beat with the impulse of special tribute to each and every one of 
them. However, they themselves would not have it so. There 
is a grander and more glorious thought in the tribute which a 
grateful brotherhood would pay to these, our heroes. In living 
they had identified themselves with the noble principles of this 
Order. To them the principle of protecting their loved ones after 
death, was a living, vital thing. To them the obligation of 
Maccabean manhood was an ever-present reality. To them the 
good fellowship of a fraternity like ours appealed and had a value. 
These were men who needed no clarion call to the service of their 
country in its hour of danger to awaken the heart beats of true 
fellowship and fidelity to home and loved ones. The more 
readily then did they embrace the opportunity to go forth as 
American citizens and we at this time find added comfort in the 
thought that in so going, they brought honor and renown to this 
Order. Some, from the hardships of camp life, died in the 
hospitals at home; some joined the great majority while brav'ing 
the dangers of the high seas; many indeed were counted among 
those whose blood moistened the stricken fields of France and 
Belgium, but they all died helping to drive home, through the 
stupidity of the German mind, the compelling fact — that which 
we now believe has been established, never again to be questioned, 
that the force of America's strength is and ever will be dedicated 
and so engaged, is unconquerable, irresistible and shall be over- 
whelming. So with humble words we pay our tribute of respect 
to these brothers who in dying have brought so much honor to 
our Order. 

"We would recommend that the Board of Trustees be authorized 
to place a suitable Memorial Tablet, at the office of the Supreme 
Tent, to the end that the memory of these honored dead 
be perpetuated in Maccabean history." Which report was 
unanimously adopted. 

In pursuance of this action of the Supreme Tent Review of 
1919, the Memorial Tablet, cuts of which appear herein, was 
authorized by the Board of Trustees of the Supreme Tent. The 
design is unique — one developed by Supreme Commander 
Markey — and manufactured by the McCoy Bronze Company of 
Detroit, Michigan. 

Thus has the Order taught patriotism and loyalty to Country 
during all its years of operation, thus did the Order nobly meet 
the exigencies of this World War in the way of encouragement to 
its members and to their families; thus did it fulfil its every 
obligation morally and financially to its heroic dead and their 
loved ones at home; thus did it in truth and in 
fact demonstrate its loyalty to Country, Home 
and Friends. 





/;/ Flanders Fields 

By Lieut. Col. John D. McCr.ve 

(Written during the second battle of Ypres, April, 1915. 

The author. Dr. John McCrae of Montreal, Canada. 

was killed on duty in Flanders, January 28, 19IS.) 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow 
Between the crosses, row on row, 
That mark our place; and in the sky 
The larks, still bravely singing, fly. 
Scarce heard amidst the guns below. 
We are the dead. Short days ago 
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow. 
Loved and were loved, and now we lie 
In Flanders fields. 

Take up our quarrel with the foe! 
To you from falling hands, we throw 
The torch. Be yours to hold it high! 
If ye break faith with us who die 
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow 
In Flanders fields. 



zAmerica s Answer 

By R. W. Lili.iard 

(Written after the death of Lieut. Col. McCrae) 

Rest ye in peace, ye Flanders' dead, 
The fight that ye so bravely led 
We've taken up. And we will keep 
True faith with you who lie asleep 
With each a cross to mark his bed, 
And poppies blowing overhead. 
Where once his own life blood run red. 
So let your rest be sweet and deep 
In Flanders fields. 

Fear not that ye have died for naught. 
The torch ye threw to us we caught. 
Ten million hands will hold it high 
And freedom's light shall never die! 
We've learned the lesson that ye taught 
In Flanders fields. 



In '^yntemoriam 

A year has passed, and peace has reigned 
O'er Flanders' fields, where deep blood staine.l 
The soil where now the crosses stand — 
To mark the graves of that brave band 
Who gave their lives to save the land. 

They are not dead! They now but rest. 
While strength endured, they stood the test. 
And now, with honor, let us lay 
A mental wreath o'er mounds of clay — 
To show our homage on this day. 

Let's not in haste forget the score 
Which left its scar the wide world o'er. 
But, tenderly, may rains and snow 
Caress those crosses, row on row. 
In Flanders' fields, where poppies blow.
